Autumn Congress Belgian Hand Group & Belgian Hand Therapists Welcome We would like to welcome all of you to our autumn meeting in Antwerp on the 14th of November 2009. Focus will be on nerve injuries in the upper extremity, a challenge for everyone involved in the treatment of upper limb injuries. State of the art didactic lectures by national and international experts will highlight diagnosis and treatment options.
